Dodge just announced that it will stop making the Charger and Challenger in gas powered models ending with the 2023 year. The models will be back in 2024 but as EV models. With all the power the Dodge engineers packed into their series of engines including the Hellcat, the Demon, and the Hellephant cranking out 1100 horsepower, I can’t wait to see what they do with an EV under the hood.

I’ve ridden in a few Hellcat powered Chargers and Challengers at the Bondurant School Of Racing in Phoenix, and they are badass! So I’m pumped to see where they go with the next generation of Detroit muscle.
